The GoGettaz initiative is part of the Generation Africa movement which seeks to inspire the next generation of African agripreneurs, connecting them to the resources they need to move their businesses successfully from idea to scale. Next to the annual GoGettaz Agripreneur Prize which VC4A has been a partner of since 2019, we collaborate around the creation of a vibrant online community platform with over 9,000 registered agri-professionals across the globe who are interacting, learning, providing mentorship and sharing experiences on youth agripreneurship and providing solutions to current challenges in the food system.
The GoGettaz Community platform boasts of multimedia capabilities with a great enhanced look with major sections that are easily accessible.
